I believe it's down to alcohol and water content, which can vary a lot depending upon the particular fuel company's procedures, and the airfield's storage of fuel. Increasing the water content fuel alters the dielectric constant of the fuel.

I heard this authoritatively from the engineer who signed off the design of your aeroplane FFF !
